Might want to edit Team A so Team B's players aren't on the roster.

Which side do you think is favored? I think it's a reasonable trade.

Team A is probably banking on riding Vick and not losing much at QB. He gets a gimpy SJax to back up a gimpy MJD. It sounds like he's losing out, but he's got a stronger team to begin with and looks like he's trying to bolster his RBs.

Team B is pretty weak to begin, so it's trading its already poor RB depth to upgrade at QB.

tally,

Thanks for pointing that out. I went ahead and fixed it so that Team B players are not showing up on Team A list.

I think it's a pretty reasonable trade as well. Team A IS indeed banking on Vick not being a SIGNIFICANT drop off from Rivers. Thus has the luxury to trade Rivers to an ailing team desperately in need of a QB he can count on (since Favre is unreliable this yr as a QB1). But SJax is more than simply a back up to MJD, this league has 2 FLEX spots where you can start RB/WR/TE...clearly having SJax as 1 of your FLEX starters is a big upgrade from Tolbert (who's fantasy value will take a big loss once Matthews returns, possibly as early as this week). SJax is also more reliable than Portis as well, who will be played as a FLEX2 option rather than FLEX1.

There have been mixed feelings about this trade in our league. 2 owners have been very vocal about this being a lopsided trade, while the rest of the league seems to feel it either slightly favors 1 team (but helps both), or is a pretty damn even trade.
